why would that thing still be on your car? all it does is keep heat in. take it off right now.

yeah i took it off today, but the paint under it doesnt look good..
doesnt it serve some sort of purpose?

sound or heat insulation depending on who you talk to.

well...i dont like sound insulation thats for sure! but the one thing im concerned about is if it keeps anything from happening to the paint on your hood if it gets too hot?

it is a fire blanket thing. supposed to fall on the engine and put it out when it starts on fire, but usually just adds to the fire.

WOW... your being completely serous right? i might take it off, but the paint under it doesnt look good so i gotta think about it!

I heard it was a fire blanket too.....I took mine off but they didn't paint the entire underside of the hood at the factory I got jipped on paint

well i was looking at mine at night, it appeared to have no paint... but i wasnt really sure if it was that or just really bad paint

[Bio248]

yes, it is a fire blanket. im serious. it will not affect the paint on the hood. i havnt ran one since i bought my car 3 years ago. take it off and paint the underside of the hood or get creative and put up some reflective (mirror) stuff on it. looks good.

[Dboy23]

They do paint underneath it but they don't put clear so that's why it may look the way it does.

[dstout]

Well that might be the case with some of the hoods but mine they just cheaped out on the paint or it was break time for the painters.

[Bio248]

some are painted, some arent. it is just the luck of the draw. when i got my current hood painted they did the inside and out.

the only reason i still have my hood liner is because i plan on painting it with to make under the hood look better

yeah since im starting to get into getting my car judged at home i might paint it, and then paint GTP on it really nice and get a silver/black theme going under the hood

[RedLedbetter]

im gonna paint mine black and if i can make a stencil of my avatar i would like to paint that on the liner

Just to confirm, it is NOT a fire blanket lol. It serves 2 purposes 1/ sound 2/ to protect the paint on your hood from heat.
